Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
The Bloodshed Dev C++ is an IDE. It uses MinGW (GCC).
I personally like the GCC.
Stroustrup likes the Microsoft C++.
Borland C++ is good too (but not always the best at standards-compliance).
Enjoy.

If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

it may be worthwhile to clarify some terminology:
the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) is an open specification (published under ECMA-335 and ISO/IEC 23271). Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, and others worked to standardize CLI (2000) and it was ratified by the ECMA, with ISO standardization later (2003). CLI is a specification, not an implementation; it defines a virtualized execution-environment, a common type system and a common language specification that allows multiple high-level languages to be used on different computer platforms without being rewritten for specific architectures.
CLR (Common Language Runtime) is microsoft's implementation of CLI (and contains extensions outside the CLI specification). the .Net Framework and the .NET Compact Framework (for portable devices) are two CLR implementations. microsoft has two other CLI implementations; Silverlight (for use in web browsers on windows and Mac OS X) and Shared Source Common Language Infrastructure (a reference implementation of CLI available under the shared source licensing program).
two non-microsoft open source implementations are Mono (an implementation of CLI and accompanying technologies, championed by Novell) and Portable.NET (from GNU, part of the dotGNU project).
